My nephew had applied polyurethane to the bedroom floor and accidentally got some on the linoleum flooring outside of my bedroom. I tried taking it out with goof off and paint thinner to no avail. I decided to see if I could lift the stain by applying steam to it. So I kept applying steam with my Shark Steam cleaner for a couple of minutes. It seem to loosen the stain. I then used a small scraper, wrapped it in a Lysol wipe and was able to remove the stain with a little elbow grease. Thank goodness it was a small area here and there. Hope it works for you.

Try dampening a rag with mineral spirits and try it on a small hidden area of the linoleum. If it is okay, repeat on the polyurethane spill. Use a clean area of the rag each time so you do not spread the polyurethane. Wash the floor thoroughly after you are done; dispose of the rags since they are now a fire hazard.

This can happen on a wooden window, where polyurethane varnish on the frame gets on the glass. Unfortunately, once polyurethane cures, it won't dissolve in anything, which is one of the things that make it so good. If you want it off your glass, you've got to use a razor-blade scraper and scrape it off. You could try using acetone (or MEK, if you can get your hands on some). It won't actually dissolve the polyurethane, but it may soften it a bit and make mechanical removal easier.
It will come out in the wash.

Well it would work if you brushed on the polyurethane ona wall that is made out of the same material as atable, and provide adequate protection from stains, scratches, and heat. Most readily available polyurethane finishes have a slight amber tint to them, which can enhance the visible grain patterns in the wood.
You can remove stains or blemishes from a polyurethane watch by scrubbing it with a wet terrycloth that has been dipped in a solution of warm water and liquid dish soap. For tough stains, dip a melamine foam sponge into the solution, ring out and wipe the watch gently. Dry well with a clean towel.
YOu would not want to paint a linoleum floor, the paing is simply going to scratch off, probably within a year. Other than commercial grade flooring coatings (for garages, workspaces etc) you would never find a painted vinyl like surface in a home.
Not successfully, it will soon come off.
Wash it off.
linoleum
It is similar to linoleum except it is sustainable and completely eco-friendly with no VOC's (volatile organic compounds) which are generally poisonous and in many home products, such as stains and adhesives.
Use a razor blade to scrape it off. Usually once the polyurethane has cured nothinng will dissolve it. So, a razor blade will be your best bet.
HOD DO YOU GET SALT STAINS OFF OF SUEDE SHOES
You can try a mixture of white vinegar and water to get white water marks off of linoleum. Use a scrub brush with the mixture to clean the area. If that does not work, clean the marks with toothpaste.
